Why air gap in rotating machines should be small?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / sunil guru
THE MAGNETIC FIELD FLUX HAS TO COMPETE THE RELUCTANCE AND RELUCTANCE IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE AIR GAP ....
SO LESSER THE AIR GAP LESS IS THE LOSSES....
AIR GAP SHOULD BE LESS THAN 5 mm IN DC MC. AND LESS THAN 3 mm IN AC MACHINE
IF THE AIR GAP IS MORE THEN TO ESTABLISH THE MMF THE MACHINE WILL TAKE MORE CURRENT AND HENCE MORE IS THE LOSSES ....

Answer / iamdon
The working flux travels through both the core and the air
gap.The ampere turn required to overcome the reluctance in
air gap is very large as compared to the iron or core
parts.In rotating machines, about 60-70 % of the total
ampere turns per pole are required for the air gap.So the
air gap length should be AS SMALL AS MECHANICALLY POSSIBLE.

if voltage is not builed up in small generator what will be the reason?
1. A 380 / 220 V r.m.s. 3-phase 4-wire circuit carries loads of 8 + j8.1 ohm; 4 + j4.1 ohm; and 2 +j2.1 ohmin the three phases respectively. The length of the circuit is 100 m, and the resistivity of the phase conductors is 0.0005 Ω/m. The neutral conductor is of the same size as the phase conductors. a) Select a reference angle 0for the first phase. Then write down the three phase voltages in both polar format and complex number format. b) Make appropriate assumptions, and take temperature effects on resistance is insignificant. Calculate the currents in the three phases. (Note: Determine conductor resistance, and apply Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law) Based on the result, suggest a main switch rating for the circuit. c) Show your preferred direction of neutral current in a diagram, and then determine its value. (Note: Apply superposition principle, and Kirchhoff’s Current Law) Use its magnitude to show that in this circuit, the unbalanced load may increase the voltage drop in some of the phases. (Note: Also observe the common volt drip in neutral) State your assumptions, if there are any. d) Suddenly the neutral wire of the circuit is broken. Estimate the new currents in the first phase, i.e. Phase L1. State your assumptions, if there are any.
